“A week home with my mother!” Meanwell, who also goes by the last name Neathway, explained of her new look as she left court after a brief court appearance today. Meanwell has been staying with her mom, Caroline Meanwell, in the Hunterdon County NJ townhouse of the mom’s boyfriend.

The buxom blonde is charged with threatening to expose her brief affair with Cashman if he didn’t divorce his wife and give her thousands of dollars for what prosecutors call a string of fictitious medical treatments involving a fabricated abortion.

Meanwell told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller she wished to be called “Neathway.” The alleged stalker had spent five months in jail before finally posting a $300,000 bond. She is additionally charged with harassing or otherwise bothering four other people: the GM’s other ex-mistress and his estranged wife, along with Meanwell’s own ex-husband and ex-boyfriend.

Her lawyer, Lawrence LaBrew, has until July 30 to file his first batch of pretrial motions, these asking for any remaining evidence that must be turned over to the defense. Uviller advised the lawyer that any defense investigators who contact prosecution witnesses on Meanwell’s behalf clearly identify themselves as working for the defense.

The parties return Sept. 6.

“She’s relaxed — very, very relaxed — and focused, so things are going well,” the mom told reporters. “Five months at Rikers will make anyone look like hell.”
